Day 3 - July 10

Today I went off to a ceramics class and then came home to make my daily book. I am heading out to the airport at midnight to pick up a friend (our airport is 1.25 hours away), so I had plenty of time to explore forms and make a structure that was entirely new to me. Yesterday's book was familiar, even if my last use of that structure was with balsa wood and linen hinging tape, not a single sheet of paper. Here's today's book:

book four: nested accordion pop-up-fold book
{paper} canary yellow cover-weight (remnant from wedding invitations); muffin package cover; remnant Japanese origami paper
{binding} folding, plus some glue to adhere the nested accordion and covers

I think this lil' guy turned out quite nicely. Pop-ups are an interesting form, and a quite difficult one, too. This book is a good entry into the format, however. Color/paper choices were kismet; wanted to use the canary yellow and remembered that I had the extra strip of origami paper. My pack-rat tendencies are paying off!
